encouraging people to “lie” to their vendors gets contracts cancelled. if you don’t like the rate you’re being presented with, ask for a breakdown and comparison to a ‘non’ wedding event. Calling people fuckers and encouraging lying is not doing anyone any favours.

And yeah, if I found out that a client lied in their contract, I’d revise the rate asap or cancel. That is BEYOND disrespectful, and a horrible way to enter a business relationship. Again, if you don’t like weddings and feel we’re all out to “get you”, elope at city hall. We’ll all be fine without clients like that.

wow. “fuckers”. yeah, small businesses that can realistically “work” one day a week (95% of weddings are on a saturday, hence the premium pricing), that make just enough of a profit to live a very normal middleclass life. INSERT EYEROLL HERE. If you don’t like weddings, don’t have one. But please don’t lie to your…

We don’t have Kroger stores here - it’s strictly warehouse delivery and my understanding is that that makes it far better than places where the stores exist.

Oh, now stop making sense! ;)

Talking about generations is like talking about BMI. They are academic terms that have overflowed into mainstream conversations and generally just devolve into people judging others. Reviewing macroeconomic trends and how big social groups act is pretty important for the general understanding of how stuff impacts…

I thought this was on topic. 

Am I the only person who feels like the whole “Named Generations” Convention has gotten stale to the point where I flare my nostrils and furrow my brow at the mere sight of it in an article? (Why did I even click on the article you might ask? 25 years of Internet Addiction is the answer)

I’m reminded of a certain…

I've long said that millennials were just Boomer Mk2, right down to that puritanical moral certainty in their own beliefs, and willingness to use their demographic's numbers to enforce them. Give it another 20 years and they'll be the same political nightmare Boomers are now.

Gen Z and Millennials seem nothing alike. Gen Z seems closer to Gen X than Millennials in values (which kind of makes sense - Gen Z was raised by Gen X parents). Meanwhile, as Millennials are getting older they are starting to turn into their Boomer parents (minus the wealth)!

No one ever has had that much fun grocery shopping. 

Boomers be shoppin like this:

Of course Gen Z is willing to go in person, that is because they are young and full of energy and their knees and back haven’t gotten all fucked up yet.

You really don’t know how this works, do you? Well, I guess I can’t blame you. Most civilians don’t. But those of us who actually work in the entertainment industry see this as the possible end of our careers if this isn’t stopped. I can’t even yell at you because I know it isn’t important to you that people starve as…

How much time do you think this would waste? 1 lesson maybe?

And why is getting children to make decisions then explain why they made them a waste of time?

Sure, NOW. In a few years? Who knows. It’s important to get this shit locked down now.

Calm down and stop clutching your pearls, ya dork. This was acutally a fun exercize as a kid. I did this assignment in 4th grade during the 90s as well and it was far more engaging and fun than most of our assignments.

While it is very important that elementary school build a solid foundation for further learning (and tends to be deficient there), there’s value in also working on setting a foundation for later citizenship and humanity.

I thought assignments like this were common. I did one in 4th grade that was in regards to learning about the Titanic, and there were similar “types” of people. We’d decide who got on the life raft and then have to explain each choice. It’s sort of ethics lite

I can fathom that Jill doesn’t fully hate her parents. She is entitled to those emotions, no matter how weird we think it is.
